Joe Biden didn’t mention the Holy Bible but quoted from this blasphemous set of books.
“There’s a Talmudic saying that says, ‘what comes from the heart, enters the heart.’ Mr. President, you have crept into our heart, you and your whole family, including mom, and you occupy it - it's an amazing thing that happened.”

‘Catholic’ Biden is indebted to Obama but not to God
Obama appointed Mr. David Satin, a mentally deranged individual, to the President’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships in April 2016.
Brought you this on Thursday 17th November 2016!
Maybe he was performing for Michael?
Makes us at Call Me Jorge... wonder if they had ‘spiritual cooking’ and ‘pizza’ after the mockery?
Rabbi Capers C. Funnye Jr. with, Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu.
"Funnye has already made headlines. He’s the cousin of Michelle Obama and the first African American to join the Chicago Board of Rabbis. He has spent his career redrawing racial and religious boundaries. In sermons Funnye quotes from Malcolm X, Marcus Mosiah Garvey and old spirituals, but also Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, Rabbi Louis Jacobs and the Talmud."
Rabbi Capers C. Funnye Jr. is a "Rabbinic Revolutonary".
"Funnye studied at the Israelite rabbinical academy but also decided to enroll in Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership in Chicago. And, after consulting his Israelite rabbi, Funnye also went through a conversion in a Conservative rabbinical court.
“I know who I am,” said Funnye, recalling his thought process and decision to go through a conversion. “I just want you to be comfortable, too.”
Unlike some of his predecessors, Funnye said, he didn’t feel like the conversion took anything away from his being an Israelite. It would also open doors.
“I am an Israelite and a Jew,” Funnye said. “We’re not trying to emulate or pattern ourselves after any Jewish community. We are our own community.”"
Rabbi Capers C. Funnye Jr. with his first cousin Michelle Obama at the White House.
"Michelle Obama and Funnye are first cousins once removed -- Michelle's grandfather and Funnye's mother were brother and sister, though it was Michelle's father who was closer in age to Funnye's mother. All have passed away in the last 15 years.
Barack and Michelle have a standing invitation to visit Funnye's Chicago congregation of multiethnic Jews -- "and when I see them, I'm going to remind them," Funnye said.
Funnye is also counting on an invitation to the White House, where his Aunt Marian, Michelle's mother, will be living with the family. Funnye and his wife visited the White House last year, when they were invited to a Chanukah reception.
"If I can visit the White House when George W. Bush is president, I will surely visit when Barack Obama is president," he said."

"During his 30 years of leadership in Chicago, Funnye’s synagogue in Chicago emerged as one of the most popular Israelite congregations in the country. He was accepted on the Chicago Board of Rabbis (making him the first Israelite to sit on any city board) and is also board president at the city’s Jewish Council of Urban Affairs.
Rabbi Debra Newman Kamin, spiritual leader of Am Yisrael, a Conservative synagogue in Chicago, has watched Rabbi Funnye’s steady rise as a leader. Twenty five years ago, Rabbi Kamin says, his congregation was a “mystery to Chicago Jewry.” Now Rabbi Kamin regularly visits his synagogue with her congregants. “He has worked hard to be part of the Jewish community.”
Michael B. Oren, former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. and close friend of Funnye’s, flew in for the weekend. “You are part of the Jewish people,” said Oren, speaking to a crowd of Israelites. “You are a part of the nation state. And we are proud and delighted to have you.”
On a drizzling afternoon in Chicago, the board presented Funnye with a signed scroll, giving him his new authority as chief. The sun, struggling to break through all morning, finally did. The sanctuary was bathed in light."
Today, Michelle and I join Catholics around the world in celebrating the canonization of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II.
The work and witness of both Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II shaped not only the Catholic Church but the world. Pope John XXIII articulated powerful roles for the Church in the cause of global peace and justice, and by convening the Second Vatican Council he revolutionized not only aspects of worship but the Catholic Church’s relationship with other faith communities. Pope John Paul II helped inspire the Solidarity movement in Poland, a movement that spread and eventually helped to end communism in Eastern Europe, and he spoke out forcefully against apartheid in South Africa and genocide in Rwanda. He had a special rapport with young people, drawing many of them to the Church’s work and teachings.
We celebrate these Saints and the leadership of His Holiness Pope Francis, and we look forward to continuing to work with Pope Francis and Catholics around the world to advance peace and justice for all people.
